“In \Vhic|| \Ve Serve"

The City is to be favoured next week with the outstanding moving picture of the year to bc shown at thc Prince lidmird, viz. Noel Coward's "In \\'liich \\'e Serve."

It is the story of a ship and the epic valor of the men and lads who ntanucd hcr. The hu- man quality of the stirring narrative grips the audience by its vcry zirtlcssness, which is the sccrct of all true art. It is the sheer realism of llic tinfoldiug (lraina iii the lives 0f the cap- taiu and the crew which gives to the picture its

Since then, stupendous war events have in- tervened. But the Old Colonial Building re- mains, our most cherished landmark. Time has proved that Sir IIenry Vcie lluntley was right when he predicted that its walls would “resound with sentiments expressive of British feelings. British principles, and Biitish loyalty." It is hard to realize that a century has passed since those words were spoken. so truly do they express our uppermost thoughts today.

The photography and technical accuracy of the film are acknowledged as superb, and critics generally have been lavish in their praise. “In \\'hich \\'e Scrvc" is, without question. the most notable achievement yet of the British studios. Noel Coward has not only achieved a triumph of production, but has, in this great pic- ture, rendered a fine and inspirational scrvicc to all who witness his stirring drama.

An Island Naval Lieutenant who has been at sea in the war, writes: "I went to see the film "In Which We Serve‘, which is perhaps an alto- gether foo faithful account of human beings who make up the complement of a crack des- iroyer. It is realistic and thrilling.”

A scheme has taken shape, and is in process of development, which will have a profound cf- fect on the University life of Edinburgh. The plan-which will require to wait until the end of the war for its full fruition~has many as- pects; but generally it may be said to have as its main motive an integration of social and scholas- tic life in the University. The princely gift which has made it possible is of the order of l million and-a-quarter dollars, and comes from Sir Donald Pollock, Lord Rector of Edinburgh University, as a memorial to his father and mother. the Rev. John Barr Pollock and Mar- garet Donald or Pollock. of Galashiels. Sir Don- ald is a graduate of Edinburgh in medicine, he- giiining practice in the West End of London. Later he accepted a posr as companion to the late Duke of Lcinsicr with whom he visited nearly every part of the world. When the Duke of Lciustcr died in 192i, Dr. Pollock, with some associates, inaugurated a shipbrealv-ing company at Charleston, Fife, which later became Metal Industries, Ltd.
